A polar bear has been spotted in Vatnsnes, North Iceland. Tourists apparently saw the bear swimming in the sea, and footprints have been found on a beach in the area. This is not an actual photo. If found, the Icelandic authorities will be faced with the usual dilemma- what to do with it. The last […]
The latest Sigur Rós video has landed. I have to say, I’m really enjoying this Mystery Film Experiment. This one is from arni and kinski who have had a long relationship with sigur rós, having directed the videos for viðrar vel til loftárása, gobbledigook, glósóli and hoppípolla. Anyway, I like this one too.
This shot was taken off the coast of Vestmannaeyjar. Not only does it show the superb weather (not a cloud in sight), a cheeky elephant seemed to appear too. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some writing to do.
After a long day driving along Iceland’s extraordinary South Coast it was with a little relief that I pulled into the sleepy coastal village of Stokkseyri, my last stop for the day. Not only was I ravenous, but it had been an extremely hot day by Icelandic standards; blue skies had stayed clear all day, […]
Woohoo! My Sigur Rós blanket arrived today, which of course is a hot, sunny day. Nevermind, I look forward to getting under it on a frosty winters day, whenever one should occur. It is super luxurious; not too thick but really nicely made out of the finest Icelandic wool by Farmers Market. It even smells […]

Most of my Twitter followers seemed to like my cute puffin post, but there has been a challenger. This person, who shall remain nameless, has posted a pretty damn fine photo of his own. In reply, I give you this:
This was taken during my jaunt to Grímsey this weekend (more of that later), I just wanted to share this cute little fellow. I might just enter him into this competition. I could do with one million ISK. Partly to pay for that trip to Grímsey.
Guðfinnur Sveinsson from rising post-rock stars For A Minor Reflection on Sigur Rós, new Icelandic music, Airwaves and strip poker. During one long winters night a couple of years ago, following possibly a couple of Icelandic beers, and definitely to escape the savage freezing rain falling from the sky, a couple of my Icelandic pals […]
After missing out on Olympic tickets in the LOCOG mess on the first occasion, scrambling around on the second, and blindly grabbing two tickets on the final occasion, fixtures for the Handball matches at London 2012 have been released today. I had my fingers crossed for a match with a least Great Britain or Iceland […]
